Abstract
A novel combination of micro-CT and finite element technologies is used to determine cancellous bone tissue modulus as a function of age. Results suggest that cancellous tissue modulus roughly doubles as a rat grows from juvenile to adult. Interestingly, the data correlate inversely with trabecular bone volume fraction which reaches a maximum at 4 months and stabilizes at a lower value at 12 mo and 24 mos. Moreover, the modulus value fall within the accepted range of solid cortical tissue.
